Danger Zone (internally: survival) is a fast-paced battle royale game mode built on Template:Game name's tactical gameplay where players use their wits, skill, and resources to fight to the finish. Featuring solo or team play.

To launch a map in the Danger Zone game mode, invoke the commands game_type 6; game_mode 0; map <mapname> or shorter: map <mapname> survival. See CS:GO Game Mode Commands.

Note.pngNote:Maps must be designed for this game mode (see below). If they are not, one should reckon with game crashes.
Note.pngNote:Valve has released no documentation about this game mode and everything is researched by players.

Map Overviews

Limiting area where players can deploy

This is controlled by a PNG file that needs to be located in csgo/maps/ with name format dz_<mapname>_spawnmask. It should represent an overview of the map, where black filled areas block deploy points. The surface area covered by this image corresponds to the play area trigger.

Spawnmask texture used for Blacksite

Adding overview image for tablet

This is controlled by a VTF file that needs to be located in csgo/materials/models/weapons/v_models/tablet/ with name format tablet_radar_dz_<mapname>.

Note.pngNote: A vmt is not needed.
Note.pngNote: The tablet overview image is not same as map overview image, it needs to line up with the entire world. One pixel on a 1024x1024 image corresponds to 20 units on a 20480x20480 map.
